^OME time ago, wishing to utilize iuformation regarding eminent men and women who were 
born in the old Pine Tree State, I could find no collected data to that effect ; only fugitive 
bits ; and appealed to the Librarian of Congress, the librarian at Augusta, to publishers and 
others with the same result, viz, that no collection of the kind was ever published. I then set myself 
the task of bringing together from various biographical works the scattered children of Maine, who 
had risen to eminence in some walk of life, with the result that follows. 

There is no claim of completeness, but it is the first eifort, and if any reader of this list misses 
from it some person of equal distinction, I should feel greatly obliged for the information and such 
data as they may be able to give. 

So far as given it will be seen that Maine has produced 27 of its 40 governors, as well as 21 
governors of other states ; 9 major generals, 9 brigadier generals, 6 rear admirals, 2 commodores, 
and 3 commanders ; a vice president, besides scores on scores of other men and women of eminent 
attainments, and high realization, altogether 448 names. 

The State of Maine into which the Commonwealth of Massachusetts could be tossed, and still have 
three times as much more territory to conceal it with, is but an infant in size as compared with Cali- 
fornia, which is five times the size of Maine, and yet Maine has probably supplied the other states with 
more mental timber than any other state in proportion to population. 

The list of distinguished people, born in Maine, is a startling illustration of the productive record of 
this rock-ribbed and pine-covered state, in the intellectual line, for it has furnished governors, statesmen, 
educators, soldiers, financiers, builders, merchants, physicians, scholars, and others, to the world, until 
the list is almost inexhaustible. 

In glancing over the heads of the average men of affairs, these men and women have risen above 
their fellows, and it is these names that I have gathered together in one collection never before 
attempted. 

If it serves the purpose of informing the people of or from Maine, who their distinguished fellows 
are, it will have gained its end. 

To almost anyone, there will appear names, utterly unknown to them perhaps, yet nevertheless, 
these people have had or still have their places of eminence in the world, and their work has rendered 
them qualified for entry into our hall of fame. 

There may be and doubtless are others who have escaped our notice, for it is obvious that such a 
list is necessarily difficult of completion. Again there are those whose work has been identified with 
Maine, but not born within the State, and therefore not eligible, men like James G. Blaine, and Wm. 
Pitt Fessenden. 

As a family, probably that of the Washburns of Livermore, Androscoggin County, has filled more 
positions of high responsibility than any other, they having been governors, foreign ambassadors, three 
United States senators, etc. Frank Carlos Griffith.
